Description
Some settings in the settings view require a restart when changed. We should add some sort of visual indicator or text to those settings so users will 1) know that is the case before they change them and 2) so that if they miss the indicator in the status bar they still have been informed that a restart is required for that setting. Had a recent user point out they didn't even see the "restart required" message at the bottom of the screen.

Research direction
Start by locating the settings view and the existing “restart required” status-bar message. Trace which settings require a restart and identify the UI entry points responsible for displaying them; done means those settings visibly communicate the restart requirement before and after a change.
